I'm in a PbP game on another site, but there's only two people in the party.
The DM is Charlym Zuardan - you might remember him from the pre-Gleemax Wizards boards (he took 1st place in "
Master Storyteller Competition #4: Mythic Beginnings"). The game is set in his "
World of Taer" setting, where the elements play a strong role. I've already posted two of his classes here (the
Warden and the
Shaman) which are available for play in this game.
Currently, the party is level 5, True Neutral, and working as enforcers for the Black Hand guild in the Starshard Isles.

* +1 con, +1 wis, -2 int Amani are a hardy and deeply spiritual people, but as a result tend to lack the drive towards higher education that other races have.
* +2 bonus on saves against poison, Amani have lived for thousands of years in the deepest jungles among some of the most venomous plants and animals, they can shrug off milder toxins that would affect other races.

Darkvision up to 60 feet. Some say the fires which created them burn still inside, lighting their way at all times. Unlike normal darkvision, which is black and white, an orc using darkvision sees in black and shades of red and orange.

Optimisation level 2
I'm playing a dragonwrought kobold ultimate magus, and the other player has a hexblade. -_-' Yeah, maybe not the best balance there, but I don't have much experience with Batgodwizards, and the kobold can't speak Common.
If anyone's interested, I'll post a link.
